DataGrid and Listbox Location

[Hawkster]

I have a datagrid and have a button set in one of the columns. I assume I have to add a listbox to my form and populate it with the data I want. No problem there.

My problem is this. How do I determine the location at which to show the listbox ?? as this will change depending on which row the button is clicked.

Here is what I did- I just set the combo box properties to match the cell properties in regard to top, left and width.

Private Sub dgMain_ButtonClick(ByVal ColIndex As Integer) 'click on the button in the cell

cmbMenu.Top = dgMain.RowTop(dgMain.Row)
cmbMenu.Left = dgMain.Columns(ColIndex).Left
cmbMenu.Width = dgMain.Columns(ColIndex).Width

Hope that helps.

(And if there is a better way I would love to see it- always looking to improve my code)

Thanks alot Theologian, with a little modification to display the list below the selected cell it works a treat.

List1.Top = DataGrid1.RowTop(DataGrid1.Row) + 500
List1.Left = DataGrid1.Columns(ColIndex).Left + 140
